Official Community Plan

The City of Campbell River's Official Community Plan (OCP) guides planning and land use management decisions in the City. The OCP offers a 50-year vision for our community, outlining goals and strategies for realizing this vision.

The City adopted the current OCP in February 2012, updating it in 2017.
